Did you change your theme, or just the look of it?

I changed the theme and added a banner. The new theme’s hardly any different than the old one but it has some cool new features.

Great ads, especially the one for Doctor Who, that one is like a little comic strip! Fun to see something for Space 1999.as well, don’t often see much for that series 🙂

It’s a cool little ad for Doctor Who isn’t it. You’re right about ads for Space 1999, I only have a few and am being patient to get more to make a dedicated post.

I think I will never be able to erase seeing my mom accidentally knock over my sea monkey aquarium and then vacuuming them up. RE-posted on twitter @trefology

Oh no, the horror of that! The evil Hoover machine has been responsible for many a lost small thing over the years!!
I remember growing my Sea-Monkeys and being surprised that it actually worked. I wasn’t disappointed they looked nothing like the adverts because the packaging showed clearly what to expect… basically a bunch of creepy swimming bugs. Mine lived for about two weeks before mysteriously disappearing! Maybe they ate each other, or buried themselves at the bottom of the aquarium knowing their days were numbered? Crazy stuff.
